Thai fried chicken in sweet and sour sauce

Thai fried chicken is spicy and sweet and at the same time its sour too which awakens all your senses. It is a refreshing fried chicken for everyday meal or for a party.

My family loves Thai food and only few restaurants in Singapore serves good Thai food, which is very expensive. When we think about the ingredients and the effort that goes in to making Thai food we’ll start preparing it ourselves at home.

Thai food is very similar to Indian cooking except for 2 ingredients which gives a distinctive Thai flavour. First is lemon grass, in India we usually use lemon grass to chase off mosquitoes and have not used in cooking Once you get used to the taste of lemon grass Thai food becomes addictive. The second is the fish sauce. I’ll always add a bit of soy sauce to mellow down the flavour of fish sauce.
